Brewer/Business Name: Rochester Brewing Co., Rochester, New York
Manufacturer/Plant: Unknown
Date of manufacture: circa 1940s
Contents/Type: N/A
Dimensions: 13-1/2 w x 5-1/2 h x 3-1/2 d.
Comments/description: Cool piece features a reverse-painted glass panel/lens, a wood base, and metal lighting enclosure. Orange glass rods along the top and bottom resemble neon but merely catch light through clear areas left in the lens when the piece is illuminated. Allows the main panel to take center stage while adding nice secondary accents. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Overall excellent working condition, with only small signs of wear and age. Looks terrific when lit.
